ctious laugh always followed a well-timed joke or sarcastic quip; he was also very quick to laugh at himself and to encourage others to do the same. For leisure, he greatly enjoyed golfing, competitive napping, and reading thrillers; but he was most at peace on Leech Lake with a line in the water. Mike had a generous, genuine soul, an old-school work ethic, and a love of living life with his wife, Amy. They enjoyed season tickets to Des Moines Performing Arts and looked forward to vacations together. They were each other's person. Those left to honor his memory are his mother Loreta (Joe) Anning; his wife, Amy Nigg; sisters Patricia (Nyle) Anderson and Christy (Kevin) Kelley; son and daughter-in-law, Ben and Kelsey Huebsch; daughters Emily and Elizabeth Huebsch; and five grandchildren: Charlotte, Eleanora, Hayes, Michael, and Emilia. He was preceded in death by his father, Michael Huebsch, and the mother of his children, Amy Schuler. A visitation will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2019, from 3 to 5 p.m. at Iles Funeral Home (6337 Hickman Road, Des Moines). Memorials may be made to the family, which will later be used to purchase a memorial bench along Mike's favorite walking trail. ARRANGEMENTS BY ILES ~ WESTOVER CHAPEL.
